Hello Fellas,
Think I did pretty well here but not certain how well and would like the opinions of the crowd. I just bought a USFA Rodeo in 45 colt and I believe it's around 3" barrel. I know that the company was well know for putting out a great product and to my understanding, 'the' colt copy. The gun is in great shape, hardly appears to have been fired. There's one scratch to speak of on the cylinder otherwise it's pretty minty. Payed just over $433. What say you?? Would post pics but I suck at it. Could email some if somebody wants to help out. |

if you head over to singleactions.proboards.com you will find a lot of good info on them. A very knowledgeable group over there. You did very well on it. I paid $450 for mine with a 4 7/8 inch barrel. It really depends on the model how much they go for. Like this one, kind of rare as the price would indicate

I miss USFA.
I stripped the bead blast off my Rodeo and had it case hardened/black chromexed and engraved by Gary Reeder, he fire blued the screws and trigger too. Inspiration was based on Russel Crowe's "Hand of God" in "3:10 to Yuma". The guy who made the grips for the movie gun (Joe Perkins at Outlaw Grips) made my grips for me 
Fuck the Zip gun |

| I can't imagine how they have survived after starting up that zip gun POS. I don't know anyone who's bought one, they can't be selling enough to make it worthwhile. USFA, would be wise to dump that ridiculous zip abomination and start making SAA style guns again. |

I agree, but to quote, no paraphrase their former sales manager: "(The owner) figured out the most expensive way to manufacture a revolver, and kept doing it." Not that it really matters because I think people would buy them regardless of the price. I'd REALLY like a Rodeo myself as a working gun, but I just can't justify paying upwards of $1000 for a revolver for which there are no replacement parts. |
